Kasteel d'Oultremont, Medieval castle in Nieuwkuijk, Netherlands.

The stone castle features a distinctive southern wing and stands near the intersection of Nieuwkuijk and Drunen villages in North Brabant province.

Originally constructed in 1230 as Steenenburgh fortress, the castle underwent major renovations in 1654 using 800,000 IJssel stones transported by ship.

The structure served as part of Het Land van Ooit theme park from 1989 to 2007, during which period it displayed its characteristic pink exterior.

The castle maintains its position as a protected national monument, offering visitors opportunities to examine medieval Dutch defensive architecture.

During 1795, French forces converted the castle into a hospital, which resulted in a fire that destroyed substantial portions of the structure.
